Power Systems Technology and Power Mechatronics

comprises the "classic" as well as new disciplines of power engineering.

Power Systems Technology

The energy supply is one of the most important issues of our time, so the efficient use of fossil fuels, and the expansion of renewable energies is one of the great challenges of Power Systems Technology.

Power Mechatronics

Power Mechatronics combines the classical engineering disciplines of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and information technology and deals with their interaction.

Power Electronics

The power electronics is concerned with the conversion of electrical energy and its use at very high level of efficiency, for example for drive systems in traffic, industrial plants or power supply.

Through a careful selection of lectures it is possible for the research group, to train young engineers in their research priorities and prepare them for industrial tasks also with the theoretical background.

In the promising field of electric vehicles, the research group has a large expertise, because of their projects in this field. For example, they have an own electric vehicle fleet on the road for some time, for everyday life tests.

Strong Partnership for Optimal Wind Power

To research wind power conversion systems a laboratory-scale wind park will be build in Bochum, Germany. Now, one milestone has been achieved.

The first workshop and B2B (Business-to-Business) on “Thermal Energy Storage Systems for Energy Efficient Buildings” took place on Thursday, June 22, 2017. The workshop has been part of the project TESSe2b, which has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the grant agreement No 680555. Attendees from industry, business, research institute and public authorities took part in the workshop.

We would like to invite you to our Workshop on the subject „Thermal Energy Storage System for Energy Efficient Buildings“, which is part of the EU-supported project TESSe2b.
The workshop will take place on Thursday, June 22, 2017, at Ruhr University Bochum in Bochum, Germany. (Room E04/401, Building ID, Universitaetstrasse 150, 44801, Bochum).
